Create or Edit Budget Tracker

To get email and in-app notifications when your usage nears specified spending limits, you can set a budget tracker for your daily and monthly spend.

The budget tracker is provided as tool to help you manage your spending, and setting a budget does not constrain your usage or your payments. If you do not stop your cluster, you will continue to be charged regardless of any specified budgets.

To create or edit a budget tracker, complete the following steps:

  1. Sign in to the Cloud console.

  2. Select Account from the side navigation bar

  3. Select Organization from the Account options

    The Info screen displays.

  4. Select the Billing & Payments tab

    The Billing & Payment screen displays.

  5. Open the budget settings screen as follows:

    1. If you have not previously set a budget tracker, select Create Budget Tracker

    2. If you have a single budget tracker set, either select the Edit (pencil) icon beside the budget summary or select Create Budget Tracker

    3. If you have both budget trackers set, select the Edit (pencil) icon beside either budget summary

      The budget settings screen displays.

  6. Set or disable a spending limit alert as follows:

    1. To set a daily spending limit alert, enter the limit in US dollars (USD) in the Daily Alert text box, then set the ON/OFF toggle to ON

    2. To set a monthly spending limit alert, enter the limit in US dollars (USD) in the Monthly Alert text box, then set the ON/OFF toggle to ON

    3. To disable the spending limit alerts, set the relevant ON/OFF toggle to OFF

  7. Select the SAVE CONFIGURATION button to save your budget settings. Selecting the Close link at the bottom of the screen, or the Cancel link in the top right, returns you to the Billing & Payments screen without saving your budget settings
